Egypt: Further information on torture / fear of torture / possible prisoner of conscience: Mohammad Wagdi Mohammad Durra

Mohammad Wagdi Mohammad Durra was released on bail on 15 December 1996.

Amnesty International is concerned that the charges against him have not been dropped and that he may still be tried solely on account of his conscientiously-held religious beliefs.
